1. This is no one's city. Everyone is an outsider in Gurgaon, migrating from all parts of this country/world. Most of them are nomads but nobody belongs to this place and their commonness is that they are all loving this 'no man's city'.
2. There is full power back up. Someone once told me that there is never any power in Gurgaon. How would i know? I am used to 24 hours power and water supply.
3. There is always Sector 29. So where do we want to eat tonight? There is always the Sector 29 market with its 100 restaurants and ample parking. 7 days a week, jam packed and thriving with action.
4. Thank God for the malls and playpens. You want to hang out with the friends in a cafe, leave the kid in a playpen and enjoy. Love the malls, malls everywhere and hundreds of places for the kids to play.
5. Always alive. You drive off on any road at midnight and you will always see the line of Innova/ Tavera Taxis(call centre cabs) lined up outside. So you are never alone on the roads.
6. Everyone is smart. You can run into random people in Gurgaon and still understand you are not smart. Compare it to Delhi where you were the smartest in your neighbourhood.
7. Come as you are. You are never under or over dressed when in Gurgaon. You can be seen in the fanciest of Gurgaon restaurant in your age old shorts and weathered flip flops without caring about what the aunty next table will think.
8. Grey inside, Grey outside. The sky in Gurgaon is always grey, not with smoke but littered clouds that hardly ever bring rain except in August. Grey inside, go figure!!!!
9. The Metro. Hop on to the Metro and you are in Saket in 20 minutes flat. How much closer can it get to BORING Delhi.
10. Walk/Jog/Breathe/Live. There is place to walk/jog. There is place to breathe, yes! Despite the tall buildings, there is greenery in the societies that give you space to breathe unlike the Delhi smoky sky that only bring sorrow to your lungs....
